Breaking: Jets to Buy Out Star Forward

"The Winnipeg Jets are processing Blake Wheelers buyout. He will be on waivers today. There will be a number of teams with interest in signing the veteran as a free agent, including the Dallas Stars."
As you can see, he also mentionned that the Dallas Stars are among the team interested in Wheeler.
